What Colorbar says about the Product :

Available in Black, this duo-step Mascara makes the eyelashes look naturally thick and long with its lash lengthening and lash volumizer. It prevents lashes from falling or breaking and is water resistant. The Mascara does not flake or clump and is suitable for sensitive eyes and those who wear contact lenses.

My take on the product

The Mascara comes with 2 wands – a Volumising one and a Lengthening one – one at each end of the tube. To me, the wands seem identical and even the final effect with each looks about the same (comparison pictures later in the post). The wands are quite small and fairly thin so they are easy to use especially on the inner and lower lashes. The wands don’t pick up too much product so there isn’t much clumping. The fibre bristles are densely packed in both the wands.

The formula of the mascara is on the drier side which causes it to flake slightly. I prefer runnier mascaras even though they take time to dry because they coat the lashes very evenly with no flaky bits. The lashes look slightly untidy because of the uneven coating but not majorly so. Since its not a very wet formula, it dries pretty quickly. The formula is water-resistant and it comes off easily with an eye makeup remover (I used bi-phase ones). As far as the effect goes, it adds plenty of drama to the eyes along with a really nice curl. There is hardly any difference between the effects of the 2 wands – both add lots of length and a generous amount of volume. With 2 coats, one gets dramaticlong, lush lashes. The one thing I really like about this mascara is that the lashes don’t feel stiff and heavy to touch when the mascara is on. The color is a nice deep jetblack which adds to the drama!

In the pics below, you can see that the effect of the 2 wands are not very different. I used both the Volumising and Lengthening wands on the right eye (your left) and 2 coats of only the Lengthening end on the left eye (your right). You can see that the effects are pretty much the same though quite nice and dramatic! In the 3rd image, you can see how much length it adds to my lashes!

The GOOD about Colorbar Lash Illusion Mascara Duo :

Doesn’t take long to dry

Minimal clumping

Adds curl, volume and length giving lots of drama

Deep black color

Comes off without difficulty using an eye makeup remover

The dry formula packs on flaky bits on the lashes

Overall Verdict

Overall, its a good mascara though the 2 different wands are hardly different from each other. It adds volume, length and curl to the lashes with minimal clumping and comes off easily with an eye makeup remover. The formula is on the drier side so there may be a bit of flaking. On the upside, the smallwand make it easy to coat the inner/smaller lashes and the formula doesn’t make the lashes stiff. I think its a really good mascara and well priced as well!

I do see some difference in the volume and volume plus length pics, or is it just my imagination haha.. I love the effect of this mascara, and it’s so affordable! Will definitely be trying this out thanks for the detailed review! xAdi recently posted..Avon Supershock Max Mascara Review

This is very similar to the revlon lash fantasy total defination.. while the first strike in that is for priming your lashes with a white coloured liquid and the second is the normal black coloured one.

I have this one.. It really adds volume to my lashes. The only problem is that it’s not waterproof or water resistant.. It comes off as soon as water touches my lashes..
But I still quite like it because it makes my lashes look fuller and doesn’t clump.. I just shouldn’t cry after applying it Sumathi recently posted..Tip of the Day – Mascara
